Anchor to articles in category blog layout

To make anchor-links to articles in category-blog layout, anchors need to be on the page. This is how to use a template override to get those anchors on the page.

For this we need a template override. It might be that the template you are using already got a template override for category-blog-items. So check first if you got this file in your template:

1. Check if you got this file:
   templates/template_name/html/com_content/category/blog_item.php
   If you got this file, go to 3, else read on at 2.
2. Copy this file:
   components/com_content/views/category/tmpl/blog_item.php
   to
   templates/template_name/html/com_content/category/
3. Open
   templates/template_name/html/com_content/category/blog_item.php
4. Find this code around line 18:
   

   JHtml::core();

5. replace that code with:
   

   JHtml::core();
   echo '<a id="item'.$this->item->id.'"></a>';

6. done.
